Description:

There's a lot to be said for continuity and high concept, and Coheed and Cambria have invented an elaborate geeky parallel sci-fi world that spread over four CDs. If you follow the story line, it unfolds like some punk Harry Potter series; equally ambitious and didactic and almost as tightly written as the Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed." You can also listen to each of the albums without a thought about the story and marvel at the musicianship, the intricately layered guitars, Claudio Sanchez's overwrought and rather pinched vocals and the sheer imagination displayed by these four musicians whose idiosyncratic emo seamlessly flows into prog rock. Epic, surreal, bigger than life, and utterly unlike anything you've heard in decades--even Geddy Lee expounding on free will. -- Jaan Uhelszki

5Wonderful service for a great price  Oct 07, 2009
Thanks for the prompt shipping! CD was in its rightful case, not a plastic sleeve, and three dollars cheaper than iTunes.

This is why I shop Amazon.com =3

5Words cannot describe this album's awesomeness!  Sep 12, 2009
This is definitely Coheed's best album and probably also their most accessible for an introduction to Coheed if you've never listened to them before. Most people should recognize "Welcome Home" and although it's a good song, it's not their only good song on this album. Quite the contrary. Key tracks for the average listener: "Always & Never", "Ten Speed (Of God's Blood and Burial)", "Once Upon Your Dead Body", and "Wake Up". Key tracks for the Prog kids: The last four songs on the album collectively known as "The Willing Well" mini-saga. In simple terms, this mini-saga will blow your mind.

4Not their best album  Apr 25, 2009
I am sorry, but in my honest opinion "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth.." is their only real good album. That album is phenominal! Probably my current favorite album, period. No other album of theirs currently measures up, including this one.
I am sure it has worth, considering it is their highest selling album, however I stand firm in believing the above. If you want to hear Coheed and Cambria at their best, purchase "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth.."

1Not what I expected  Mar 01, 2009
If you heard the song "welcome home" on the preview for the movie "nine" and wanted more of the same then you will be disappointed. That song is a one off. In fact in the preview they omit the singing along with a lot of boring repetitions parts. The singing is high pitched and silly sounding. Singing can be overlooked (death metal fans), however the songs on the rest of the album are just boring. They have none of the pantomime and as one review put it, urgency, of welcome home. It kind of sounds like watered down My Chemical Romance, which isn't a stellar band to begin with.

5Good Album, Fresh Sound  Feb 27, 2009
This is my first Coheed and Cambria album and to anyone thinking about getting it I'll say I'm very happy I got it. Listen to "Welcome Home" and "The Suffering" If you like those two you probably love the cd.

When researching their music I saw they did "A Favor House Atlantic" a song I heard on MTV way back in the day and always liked. Once I get tried of this cd I'm probably going to get number III.
